this is a common thing and i will admit i am guilty of doing this on a regular bases. what am i talking about? i am referring to, initially running to somebody else when i need to know what to do in a certain situation. it's not wrong to go to people,but, going to them before i go to God is a habit that i realize is not the best thing for me to do. i need to establish a habit of going to God first. honestly, the first thought that comes to my mind is: who can i call? who can i facebook? who can i receive care and concern from? who can give me advice? like i said, it's not wrong to do this, but, it becomes wrong when it's the first thing i think of doing. maybe you have a problem in this area too, i don't know, but, i sure know that i do. joyce meyer has a wonderful quote: "Go to the throne, before you go to the phone." when i go straight to God and ask Him for clarification, or help regarding a situation. it shows that i want His advice and that it means the most to me. God, wants us to ask for His advice. when i go to Him first and ask for His counsel, He may bring a person into my life of His choosing to help, to listen, and through the guidance of His Spirit show me scripture,understanding, love, comfort, and point me to God for strength, peace, confidence, knowing that Jesus Christ is taking care of me and that through the Savior, i have nothing to fear. The following are verses that came to my mind while writing this....
My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth. He will not allow your foot to slip or to be moved; He who keeps you will not slumber nor sleep. The Lord is your keeper; the Lord is your shade on your right hand. The sun shall not smite you by day nor the moon by night. The Lord will keep you from all evil; He will keep your life. The Lord will keep your going out and your coming from this time forth and forevermore. ~Psalm 121:2-8
This is a song He placed on my heart.
Always Forever
